Re: Internet Server Sanctions
The point I was making is that even if(when) you get you domain name transfered, if the original hosting entity does not remove you from their dns table no one accessing the net from them(their network) will be able to access your new host. And yes, a user can use just about any dns server, but dont expect the average user to do that, just expect them to say your site is broke. you need to: 1. get a new host...this is easy 2. get the registar to change records to point to the new host... your new host will be the most help here 3. get the old host to delete your dns entryyou might need a guy in a funny wig On Friday 04 January 2002 10:59, Declan Moriarty wrote: Was it Bill Campbell who wrote on Friday 04 January 2002 02:42: On Thu, Jan 03, 2002 at 07:23:10PM +, Ronnie Gauthier wrote: Not quite right.

Re: Internet Server Sanctions
Yes, most of us here can do that no problem, and do as a rule when trouble shooting access problems. But dont expect the average user to do more than say a site is broken.

Re: Apache: secure access
Not sure what you really want to do.
What you are doing now will encrypt the data sent from the client to the
server. You may wnat to look at .htaccess/.htpasswd for what you are trying
to do. Which is, I think, having user authentication before access is granted
to view/edit the calendar.

don't know for sure.
I've read an SSL How-To at linuxdoc.org regarding creating a secure
webserver with RedHat, http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SSL-RedHat-HOWTO.html, and
followed most of the instructions for creating a .key and a .crt file. The
step I'm stumbling on is configuring the webserver.
as
The document provides a sample virtual host config for httpd.conf as
follows: VirtualHost 172.18.116.42:443
DocumentRoot /etc/httpd/htdocs
ServerName www.somewhere.com
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ErrorLog /etc/httpd/logs/error_log
TransferLog /etc/httpd/logs/access_log
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key
SSLCACertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/ca-bundle.crt
Files ~ \.(cgi|shtml)$
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
/Files
Directory /etc/httpd/cgi-bin
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars

CustomLog /etc/httpd/logs/ssl_request_log \
%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x \%r\ %b
/VirtualHost
But doesn't this make the entire web site a secure host, or would it be
just cgi scripts and shtml pages? How would I set this up so that only
webcal requires a secure connection? How do I set it up so that Webcal will
NOT accept an insecure connection? Do I configure that in the Files and
Directory sections? Like this...
Files ~ \.(cgi|shtml)$
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
/Files
Directory /etc/httpd/cgi-bin/webcal
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
/Directory
Would that require connections to IP address/cgi-bin/webcal/webcal.cgi be
secure? I THINK that's what it does, but I wanted to run it by folks who've
done this sort of thing before.
As always, any help is appreciated and thanks for listening.

Re: CNN poll
That is the smart and prudent thing to do. Nothing would start a divide quicker than a heated national debate on our freedoms/privacy and how far the restrictions should go. It is not a subject that would be rationally debated by either side nor would it do any real good except to tell the world we have already forsaken national solidarity and are back to our usual internal bickerings.

Re: KDE2 - removing applet from kicker
I run Mandrake and had the same problem you describe. My solution after banging my head against the mutitude of KDE files was to use my installation disk and choose 'upgrade then use only the last option and (re)configured the GUI. It worked, the taskbar was free of the applets I had stupidly installed. Overkill I'm sure but I could not find any other way to rid myself of that java junk. I also vowed never again to use any java taskbar apps.

Re: OT Dedicated hosting (Cobalt Raq)
I use the Raq4's. Installation and setups are easy, they are fairly solid and based on redhat 6.0. Cobalt has nice support pages and online security updates with their own RPM installer. All maint and updates can be done via browser on :81. One thing, you cant heavily reconfig or mess with them too much or Sun considers your warranty void, as long as you keep updates in they do warranty the software. I do find Sun a bit more stiffer on giving free support that cobalt was but they have helped me with the reply of this time but next time you pay. And yes, it was our fault the box died, but they did help although we did have to buy the restore disk. So I guess it depends on your host, do you support yourself or do they keep your box running and updated. Go to http://cobalt.com for more info on the boxes. We host, just what are your requirements and intended use? We dont do porn, warez, hate, or search engines/software repositories.

New worm on the loose
Got this from another list I'm on. I have not checked it out but Rsk is reliable and virtually hoax proof. A new worm that hits Windows/IIS is loose this morning. It's spreading VERY fast...my logs are scrolling so quickly that I can't even read them. Reports are coming in on nanog, inet-access, and isp-webhosting. See below for one vendor's analysis. ---Rsk - Forwarded message from Braun, Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] - From: Braun, Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 08:33:36 -0700 Subject: FW: Worm probes To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' [EMAIL PROTECTED] I received this warning from TruSecure regarding the latest worm attack. Mike Braun First American CREDCO -Original Message- TruSecure ALERT- TSA 01-023 - W32.nimda.a.mm Date: September 18, 2001 Time: 1000 EDT RISK INDICES: Initial Assessment: RED HOT Threat: VERY HIGH, (rapidly increasing) Vulnerability Prevalence: VERY HIGH, effects IIS servers version 4.0, 5.0, and internal networks. Cost: High, command execution is possible Vulnerable Systems: IIS 4.0 and 5.0 SUMMARY: A new IIS worm is spreading rapidly. Its working name is Nimda: W32.nimda.a.mm It started about 9am eastern time today, Tuesday,September 18, 2001, Mulitple sensors world-wide run by TruSecure corporation are getting multiple hundred hits per hour. And began at 9:08am am. The worm seems to be targeting IIS 4 and 5 boxes and tests boxes for multiple vulnerabilities including: Almost all are get scripts, and a get msadc (cmd.exe) get_mem_bin vti_bin owssvr.dll Root.exe CMD.EXE ../ (Unicode) Getadmin.dll Default.IDA /Msoffice/ cltreq.asp This is not code red or a code red variant. The worm, like code red attempts to infect its local sub net first, then spreads beyond the local address space. It is spreading very rapidly. TruSecure believes that this worm will infect any IIS 4 and IIS 5 box with well known vulnerabilities. We believe that there are nearly 1Million such machines currently exposed to the Internet. Risks Indices: Vulnerability VULNERABILITY PREVALANCE is very high - Milllions of Internet Web server hosts: TruSecure process and essential configurations should generally be protective. The vulnerability prevalence world-wide is very high Threat - VERY HIGH and Growing The rate of growth and spread is exceedingly rapid - significantly faster than any worm to date and significantly faster than any variant of Code red. Cost -- Unknown, probably moderate per infected system. The worm itself is a file called README.EXE, or ADMIN.DLL a 56K file which is advertised as an audio xwave mime type file. Other RISKS: There is risk of DOS of network segments by traffic volume alone There is large risk of successful attack to both Internet exposed IIS boxes and to developer and Intranet boxes inside of corporations. Judging by the Code Red II experience, we expect many subtle routes of infection leading to inside corporate infections. We cannot discount the coincidence of the date and time of release, exactly one week to (probably to the minute) as the World Trade Center attack . REPLICATION: There are at least three mechanisms of spread: The worm seems to spread both by a direct IIS across Internet (IP spread) It probably also spreads by local shares. (this is not known for sure at this time) There is also an email vector where README.EXE is sent via email to numerous accounts. Mitigations TruSecure essential practices should work. Block all email with EXE attachments Filter for README.EXE Make sure IIS boxes are well patched and hardened, or removed from both the Internet and Intranets. Make sure any developer computing platforms are not running IIS of any version (many do so by default if either. Disconnect mail from the Internet Advise users not to double click on any unexpected attachments.

Re: Special Report
Correct. So all that is needed is to bore and chamfer/polish the breech chamber to fit the .308 brass. But in your grouping the 30-06 is a long shell, the rest are short. Has to do with the length of the action or throw of the bolt. The 06 is classed in the magnum length. the basics are 30 carbine, 30-30, 303, 30-40, 308, 30-06, 300. The lengths are carbine, normal(short), magnum(long). This does not take into account belted vs. non-belted. Again, these are the standard shells and I made no mention of varients of these and also what are called wildcats such as the 308-08 which is a 308 necked to an 8mm or the 300-07 which is a 300winchester necked down to a 7mm.

Re: New York WTC
In basics it breaks down like this. Bin-Laden needs money. Period. Now he has increased the output of opium in Afhganistan to double what it was, they are now the largest exporter of dried poppies in the east. His followers guard the shippments, Bin-Laden collects a 10% tax on all opium exports. But he has a problem, he needs more money. Suadia Arabia is the country, in his mind, that can be most easily destabilized and couped. He does not give a rats ass about any country except as a money spigot.

Do you know that when Pakistan detonated their last nuclear test there was a quake two days later, a 7.0 in Afghanistan. They both sit on the same fault.

Re: web site won't work
It doesn't work on my NT4 IE5.00 box either. Building a functional webstie requires a bit of forethought and proper use of tools to reach your intended audience. This site would be fine for an intranet with IE 5.5 or better on all machines. Unfortunatly, for the internet and cross platform portability Frontpage might not meet your goals. Unless of course your goals are to limit your targeted audience to newer IE versions which I dont believe is your intent. If you use buttons and links you can have the same effect with javascript instead of java for the rollovers. Many use frontpage for internet use and its really only suited for intranet use if you use all the bells and whistles. FP is a prime example of why so many professionals distain its users as clueless newbies pretending they know whats going on. Different apps can be used to create the design but the basic process remains the same. The basic layout is put down. Intended audiance, level of glitz, ADA compliance, html level. Sections, catagories, departments, functions, whatever, any sub-sections and their individual pages. Logo design(if needed) and placement, motto, mission statement, slogan use/placement. Care is taken to keep every thing within two clicks. Need header/footer, sub header/footer, PHP/SSI. Colors, borders, accent, background set. Theme set, framed, umframed, navigation, top/bottom/side, overall look, corporate, tecno, comtemporary, local/regional/geographical.Search engine placement. Server concerns, special configurations or apps. Scripted or DB's apps, searches, guestbooks,whatever. The use of graphics and their placement and what they should convey are discussed. This is done beween the designer(s) and the client/person incharge of the site. All the above may entail more than one meeting. Content: gathered as soon as basic layout is set and edited to fit pages/content theme as needed. Pictures, slides, CD's are also gathered and grouped to their intended placement/use within the pages and headers/footers. This can be either in-house or in conjunction with the clients people. Content is finalized and pics/articles are selected for use. Index page design is done full sized in a graphic app. Header and footer created if needed. Individual buttons/texts made. Graphic sliced to create rollovers and load speed. Scanned pics/ articles whatever reduced/sized. Fully functional index page is created. Any catagory/sub-catagory, etc templates are created. Website structure/tree created. Templates are used as needed to insert content(into which the editors have thoughtfuly inserted breaks,para's,bolding,etc.). Scripts are also written to digest and format content into templates if needed. Much easier when you are talking 50,100,200 or more pages. scanner, doc feeder, OCR(omnipage), spellcheck, run through script. You can do the same for scanned graphics to size and convert a whole folder full. end design for the web 101 intro I do the scripting and batching on linux and designing on windows NT with Homesite, Photoshop/ImageReady.

Re: The 'mv' command
If you supply a directory it moves files to that directory. If file names are given it renames the fist to the second. Only two files can be specified. If more than two are listed then you also must list a directory or you get an error. Thus you cant rename foo to foo1 and foo2. On Sunday 02 September 2001 21:48, Tim Wunder wrote: What does the 'mv' command actually do? I've always been under the impression that it simply renames the file/directory, but I get the feeling there's more to it than that. My recent experience with compiling the KDE2.2 SRPMs has led me to think that. When I tried to compile the KDE2.2 source under eW3.1, I first mv'd the /opt/kde2 directory to /opt/kde22, thinking this got the existing KDE stuff out of the way for the new install. But I couldn't get kdelibs to compile. I then decided to just try instaling kde2 from the RPMs instead of the SRPMs and that seemed to work (well, I DID --force --nodeps everything). I then had the problem of starting KDE, which apparently was the result of the inability to load a shared library. I then punted. I rm -r'd the /opt/kde2 directory and mv'd /opt/kde22 back to /opt/kde2. Next I cp -R'd /opt/kde2 to /opt/kde22 for a backup. After that, I decided to re-try the SRPMs, and everything compiled fine (except for kdegraphics, which required a little cheating). The only difference bewteen my two methods, was the use of 'cp -R' to make a backup of /opt/kde2 rather than 'mv'. Hence my question, what does the command 'mv' actually do?

I downloaded and installed kernel 2.4.9 and X4.1.0 without too much difficulty. I then tried to start installing KDE2.2 from the SRPMs I was using under eD2.4, but ended up with some compile issues. Rather than debug that, I decided to download the pre-compiled RPMs. After installing all packages, I tried to telinit 5 to start KDE2.2, but it doesn't want to work. kdm starts, but before a login screen displays, X restarts. This happens repeatedly (X starts - doesn't get to kdm login - x restarts) until kdm apparently gives up and I get an error message, 'Id gu respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes'. If I don't telinit 3, then the cycle gets repeated in 5 minutes. 'startx' works. I get an xsession and can run non-kde programs (composing this in Netscape), but when trying to run KDE apps from plain X, they fail with an error error while loading shared libraries: /opt/kde2/lib/libkdeui.so.3: undefined symbol: stylChange_8QToolBarR6QStyle, but I'm not at all sure whether that's relevent to my problem. /var/log/messages has: kdm[1781]:Greeter returned non-zero exit code 32512 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-81 kdm[1802]:Greeter returned non-xero exit code 32512 So this looks like an error with kdm, or kdmrc.

When a packet is fragmeted the part with the header is readable but the rest is not, thus it needs somewhere to go, thus port 65535, which is for fragments.

cyber sale problems
I know a lot of people on this list are responsible for buying parts for their employers or clients. A friendly word of caution for anyone who runs across http://www.ccix.com or http://www.cybercomputing.net WATCH YOUR STEP in buying from them. Like the Steve Miller song, they took the money and ran. A paypal judgment against them was useless as they cleaned out their account.

delete email from server
I'm setting up a new cobalt box. I have it working great except for leaving email on the server. I have unchecked the delete from server box in Kmail and it is not deleted but Kmail keeps DL'ing the same messages. Is this Kmails fault or is it something I need to configure in sendmail?

I use Red Hat 7.0 on a box with a Cyrix cpu (slow but adequate for personal use). I have compiled my crontab file to automatically take care of my regular daily backups.

It is simply: umount /mnt/floppy.Currently,I have to type the command in a terminal window to unmount the floppy, which is no big deal but doesn't look right.

ftp -remote to remote
I'm trying to do remote to remote ftp using gFTP. I can connect to the boxes that allow anonymous logins OK. But in this case the second box does not allow anonymous logins. I have tried every combination I can think of to log in but I keep getting denied. How do I push the user:pass along with the IP? Any help or suggestion gladly accepted.

Re: adobe pdf virus
I think so, AFAIK, ms products run pdf's without challenge. I have acrobat 5 and it opens fully when I click a pdf file. I use pdf's quite a bit and it concerns me that if this gets more work and wider spread that anyone with acrobat will be extremely vulnerable to a system attack. Also that its possible that with more work that even on the linux side someone could get code to execute when the plugin is run to open the pdf file.
